All revenue sources, as well as facilities cost and support costs, are considered in order to come up with funding applied to the overall college budget.

Funding comes in the form of a lump sum posted directly at the college level. Distribution of those funds within the college is the responsibility of the dean of each college, and is based on the principles of RCM.

In addition to allocating funds based on levels of activity, it is important the college provides for financial assistance between departments and maintains the flexibility to provide for strategic investments within the college. Providing such support between departments is critical to maintaining stability within the university while the ability to strategically invest is critical to the institution’s overall growth.
